CONNECTING TO A SONDE
Since YSI 6-Series sondes do not have displays or controls, users must communicate to them with a PC or terminal and emulation device. The figure below is a diagram of the YSI 610 connected to any 6-series sonde.

The 6-Series Sonde.
Two slide plug cable adapters are available for the communications plug. One is for communication with a PC
and terminates in a 9-pin miniature sub-D connector.
When communicating with a PC, be sure to use a null
modem cable. The other adapter is for use with a sonde
and terminates in an 8 pin, military style connector. Plug
the MS-8 end of the cable into the sonde and the other
end into the YSI 610.

SAMPLING APPLICATIONS
Sampling applications refer to readings that are taken
while the user is present and controlling the collection of
data. In sampling applications the total data collection
time is relatively brief, from a few minutes to perhaps a
few hours.
The YSI 610 has several storage options for sampling
applications. Because the interpretation and use of the
Site List depends on which feature you use, we recommend that you choose one method that best suits your
needs, learn that method and ignore the others. Storage
options are:
STASH - Data are not intended to be uploaded to a PC.
Data are stored in 26 slots, each referred to by letter (AZ). Weather data scan be stored in the same way. From
Run mode, press S then choose a letter (slot). To store
Weather, Press W. To recall, press R.
ADD - For storing single sets of readings to an uploadable file. Only available on the 610-DM. From the Run
mode, press “A”. You may store as many readings as you
like by pressing the A key repeatedly.
CAPTURE
For storing several consecutive readings to
-
an uploadable file. Only available on the 610-DM. Capture stores readings to a file as quickly as they come from
the sonde. From Run Mode press the C key to start Capture. Stop it by pressing C, Esc or Power.
MARK - For storing readings from many sites in a single, uploadable file. Only available on the 610-DM.
• The 610 stores all Marked data in a special file
named “marked”. The 610 stores a site number with
each set of readings, not a site name.
• Only one weather entry is possible for the entire
marked file. You cannot enter different Weather data
for each site or for different days.
• Before using the Mark feature, you must define pairs
of site names and site numbers in the Site List.
• All sets of readings in the marked file must have the
same parameters.
• To store marked data in a different file, rename the
current Marked file using 610 File System. The renamed file still contains a Mark Number for each set
of readings. Additional marked data will be stored
in a new file named “marked”.

USING THE SITE LIST WITH THE MARKED FILE
The Site List is accessed through the Setup 610 menu.
When using the Mark feature, there is only one filename,
“marked”. All readings that are stored using the “m”
prompt during Run mode are stored to filename
“marked”.
You can not type in the word “marked” to create this file.
You may rename “marked” file to a filename of your
choice using submenu FILES.
In the Site List use the File item to hold the Mark Name,
and the Site item to hold the Mark Number.
From Main menu choose Setup 610, then Setup Site List.
When in the field taking readings, from Run mode, you
would press the “m” key, and a list would appear.
Choose the site name to begin the process of collecting
the readings.
Remember that when you review data from the “marked”
file, lines of data from the site “spillway” will be labeled
as “sample 6”. Each of the sites will have corresponding
numbers. When you set up the sites, write down the
numbers for later reference.
